“65 Years as a Sunday School Goer”, August 9,
1931. This article is clipped (without date) and
contained in the small blue scrapbook in KH
archives; which makes the following dearth of
material so very strange--Sloan dies 2 years later,
and there is nothing further mentioned of him at
all in any of the three scrapbooks in the archives.
Nothing is said in the Church Extension records;
the Women’s Board minutes for those years are
missing. Article is also clipped and contained in
the Mercantile Library.
